Chapter 26: Incense (4)
Looking at Mrs. Xu again, she is still dressed in a simple green coat today, only the neckline is embroidered with orchids, and only a wooden hairpin is loosely pinned on her hair, but she has an indescribable temperament, like a jade that has been sharpened for a hundred years in the wind and sand, exuding a warm but not dazzling light, which makes people unconsciously shorter by three points.
Wen Zhu was taken by Mrs. Xu's glory, couldn't help but look at her, looked at it twice and lowered his head ashamedly, after a while, he couldn't help but look up, and so on several times, Mrs. Xu seemed to understand what Wen Zhu was thinking, and said with a light smile: "Have you seen enough?" ”
Wen Zhu nodded and shook his head hurriedly, Mrs. Xu smiled, and said with a smile: "My mother's Xu family is famous for being a goddaughter, my sister-in-law is the current queen mother, and my niece is the queen of the present day." ”
Seeing Wen Zhu's surprised face, he patted her hand and said with a smile: "Since your father is in business, he has rarely had contact with the Xu family. ”
Mrs. Xu's face was still gentle, and she said, "Your father was quite strict with you, but I worked a hundred times harder than you when I was young. ”
After a pause, his eyes stared into the distance, and he fell into a far-reaching memory, and said: "At that time, I practiced thousands of times for the action of lifting a chopstick, the height of the arm, the angle of the wrist, the length of the chopsticks stretched out, the number of vegetables, a trace of error, and I had to return empty, but a meal was only twenty chopsticks, and I was often hungry." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of lifting a chopstick, as if he was painting with ink, and he was extremely elegant, full of everyone's demeanor.
Putting down her hand, Mrs. Xu smiled lightly, and said: "The elders in the family have taught us since childhood, although the queen is in the deep palace, the queen's family can see it, and others will figure out what the queen looks like when they see you, and you must restrain yourself in accordance with the queen's requirements in every move." ”
Wen Zhu was already stunned when he heard it, but Mrs. Xu, who listened, said again: "The daughter of the Xu family will receive all kinds of etiquette training as soon as she is born, and when she is seven years old, she will be screened for the first time.
If the best person receives the education of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery and female red, and even at the age of fifteen, he is polite and polite, and his demeanor is enough to honor the world, but only one of them marries into the royal family. ”
Wen Zhu's eyes widened and asked, "What about the other daughters?" ”
Mrs. Xu put her right hand on her cheeks, showing a few wisps of style, her eyes fluttering, and said: "But she married into an ordinary people's family, became an ordinary woman, taught her husband and children, and lived a dull life." ”
Wen Zhu was stunned, and Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "The Xu family can stand for a hundred years, but they are extremely low-key, only seeking nobility, not power. Everyone knows that the servants of the Xu family are ten grade officials, and a few people know that the head of the Xu family is only an eight-grade outsider. ”
Mrs. Xu joked again: "It's just that who dares to embarrass the queen's family?" ”
Suddenly, the ground was upright, and he said solemnly: "Therefore, you must not form a party for personal gain, so that the royal family will have the trouble of dictatorship of relatives, and other daughters must not marry into the family of the powerful." ”
turned to smile again, her expression changed so quickly that Wen Zhu was dizzy, Mrs. Xu patted her hand and said, "Do you understand what my mother said to you?" ”
Wen Zhu was silent for a moment and said, "My daughter will definitely practice how to lift a chopstick when she goes back." ”
Mrs. Xu also glanced at her with disgust and disgust, and the elegance of the moment made people feel full of charm, and scolded with a smile: "You kid will pretend to be stupid." ”
Talking and laughing, but he had already arrived at the door of the house, Wen Zhu looked at the sky outside the mansion with great nostalgia, and reluctantly walked towards the mansion under the urging of Wen Lan.
After the meal, the article retreated left and right, sat opposite Wen Lan, the article supported his forehead with one hand, quite a bit of prodigal temperament, and asked with a smile: "What did you say about incense with your third sister today?" ”
Wen Lan's eyes were extremely bright, and she said, "The third sister is very smart, which is really beyond my father's expectations. ”
"Oh?" The article sat up straight, his eyes were also very bright, and he said with great interest, "You can talk about it." ”
Wen Lan said: "The third sister only guessed that my Wen family wanted to cut off the Sun family's wealth from the flood of the Yangtze River and my father's disaster relief. When the daughter is still suffering from gains and losses, the third sister said that my Wen family is rich and rivals the country, and the fifth sister does not need to care too much about the success of the marriage. ”
The article's eyebrows fluttered, and he nodded: "Yes, smart and calm, not caring about the gains and losses of a city or a place, it can be of great use." ”
Wen Lan said happily again: "The third sister has a broad mind, and when she heard that the victims were displaced, she once said that there are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy." ”
The article was stunned for a moment, and asked with blazing eyes: "Did she really say that?" ”
Vinland smiled and nodded.
The article pondered for a long time, and smiled brightly: "My father originally planned to scatter all the family wealth, and leave one-tenth or twelve to take care of her, which is enough for your sisters to have a worry-free life." Now it seems that your third sister has the world in her heart, and she understands the truth that her daughter will come back after being scattered, and the Wen family will definitely be carried forward in her hands, and it is safe to protect your sister throughout her life, and she can be at ease after being a father for a hundred years. ”
Wen Lan smiled: "Daddy will definitely live a hundred years old, and he will teach his daughters when the time comes." ”
The article thought of a bunch of little babies with pink makeup and jade in the future, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. said with a smile: "What your third sister said is not wrong, whether the Sun family agrees or not, I don't care anymore, there will be results in three days." If you tear your face and break your face at that time, you can't say that our Wen family is going to start meddling in the rice and grain business. ”
Wen Zhu had a strange dream, in the dream he was phoenix crown, not angry and self-assured, but became the mother of a country, when eating, several people served, in front of a plate of delicacies served like water, he stretched out his chopsticks to clip, but how could not reach, so several times, she suddenly muttered to herself, the posture is wrong, the posture is wrong.
woke up in a cold sweat on his head, Wen Zhu said in his heart, this queen is really not very human. looked in the mirror, but it was very clear two dark circles, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, and asked Zhaocai to boil a bowl of eight-treasure white fungus soup at night, and Fang Shi Shiran went to the study.
After entering the study, after finishing his morning class, he played origami boringly, and after a while there was a bunch of small clothes and pants in front of him, which made the twins look back frequently, but they didn't dare to put down the work in their hands.
When the article came, I saw such a scene, and I couldn't help but have a gloomy face, and I wanted to cry: "What are you doing, Zhu'er, Daddy is still counting on you to retire and send you to the end." ”
Wen Zhu was used to his style, and said lazily: "My daughter has finished her morning class." ”
The article picked up the booklet in front of her and examined it carefully, and sure enough, it was exactly the same. Seeing some strange patterns next to him, he couldn't help but ask, "Zhu'er, what do you write next to this account book?" ”
